2. Draft a center
David Andrews announced that he’s been cleared to play in this upcoming season after missing all of last year with blood clots in his lungs. The impact of his absence was huge, and having him back will be very important. There are still questions, however, about his future in football and the shape he’s in.
The Patriots are definitely going to address some depth spots on the offensive line, but taking a center on the second day feels a bit high. The highest Belichick has drafted a center in New England was the fourth round of the 2014 draft when he selected Bryan Stork.
